Wilber's Barbecue

Yes! I ate at Wilber's BBQ when I was in NC this summer - it was my favorite outside-of-Wilson BBQ place (Wilson is home to Bill's, Parker's and the late, lamented Mitchell's BBQ). Good Q, slaw and pups. I even bought some of their BBQ sauce. An added bonus was the parking lot show: in addition to the smell of the wood-fired BBQ pits and the produce stand selling local tomatoes, squash, snap-beans, etc., the flyboys out of Seymour-Johnson Air Force Base were practicing their landings/takeoffs (I'm guessing), and Wilbur's is right on their flight path. The noise was horrendous and thrilling, and it was quite a sight to see these dark blue, bat-winged planes go screaming overhead: I took several photos of them passing just above the Wilber's Barbeque sign.

Wilber's Barbecue

Grew up in Raleigh with many trips to the beach with dad. Always stopping at Wilber's.
School at ECU made me a big fan of B's in Greenville but Wilber's holds great memories.

Our NC friend took us on a detour to Wilber's on our way from Raleigh to the coast and I'll vouch that it is, indeed, amazing. We liked it so much my husband bought a t-shirt which he proudly sports to this day.
